Network Setup
The SpeedNet ME Radio network in this example contains three Ethernet segments.
The first segment uses the 192.168.1.0 Class C subnet, encompassing a range of addresses
from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. The second segment uses the 192.168.2.0 Class C subnet,
encompassing a range of addresses from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254. The third segment
uses the 192.168.3.0 Class C subnet, encompassing a range of addresses from 192.168.3.1
to 192.168.3.254.
The wireless network in the example uses the 192.168.202.0 Class C subnet. This
subnet is different from the subnets used for the Ethernet segments. The wireless inter-
face of the SpeedNet ME Radio from the End Point Node 1 is assigned an address of
192.168.202.1. The wireless interface of the SpeedNet ME Radio from the Repeater Node
is assigned an address of 192.168.202.2. The wireless interface of the SpeedNet ME Radio
from End Point Node 2 is assigned an address of 192.168.202.3.
In this example, each SpeedNet ME Radio host ID is 1 (as in 192.168.3.1), while the
connected application device uses a host ID of 2 (as in 192.168.3.2). Following a
numbering scheme such as this will make it easier to keep track of which IP addresses
are assigned to each device.
NOTE:
All SpeedNet ME Radios, regardless of their role within the network,
must use unique IP addresses for their Ethernet and wireless interfaces. All of the
SpeedNet ME Radios on the same mesh should have wireless IP addresses in the same
subnet. All the SpeedNet ME Radios on the same mesh should have different Ethernet
subnets.

planning.
